5001 - Most common. Use internally from the extension of the user checking Voicemail (the user will only be prompted for a password). Use 5001 to check the voicemail of the extension you are calling from. Commonly used when checking your own voicemail, from your extension.

What is Enhanced Voicemail?
Enhanced Voicemail (also referred to as Enterprise Voicemail) is a treatment that gives the caller an option to try a different extension before prompting them to leave a message.
Call Flow with Enhanced Voicemail
- The caller dials a DID or extension number
- The caller hears the called party's voicemail greeting
- The caller hears "To dial another extension press 1, to leave a voicemail press 2 or simply stay on the line" (at this point, the caller can also dial 0 to reach the Operator extension).
- If option 2 is chosen, the caller hears "Please leave a message after the tone".
Call Flow with Enhanced Voicemail Disabled
- The caller dials a DID or extension number
- The caller hears "Your call is being forwarded please hold"
- The caller hears the called party's voicemail greeting

Voicemail Issues
Voicemail Hyperlink does not work
If you are using the Voicemail Hyperlink and the link opens to an error webpage; it is likely because the Voicemail has already been deleted from the user's mailbox. It is recommended to check the voicemail box to make sure the voicemail is still New or Saved.
